On March 14, USC announced
that the Shinnyo-en Buddhist order
donated $6.6 million to further the
study of Japan and its culture at the
university.
The Japanese Religions and
Culture Center on campus will now
be renamed the Shinso Ito Center. The
name is meant to honor Her Holiness
Shinso Ito, who is the current leader
of the Shinnyo-en Buddhist order.
Duncan Williams, chair of the
School of Religion at the Dornsife
College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
and co-director of the Shinso Ito
Center, elaborated on the generous
gift.
“The donation will be used
primarily as an endowment that
will allow the Center to support its
programs in perpetuity,” Williams
said. “The center is the host of a
variety of research projects that
range from the study of pre-modern
Japanese religion to contemporary
immigration policies in Japan, from
the connection between Japanese
religions and science to the history of
Japanese America.”
Based in Japan, the Shinnyo-en
Buddhist order is an organization
with nearly one million members
worldwide. They have been involved
in philanthropic efforts at American
universities to help support Buddhist
and Japanese studies.
Shinnyo-en has also made gifts
to Stanford University and the
University of California, Berkeley.
Williams previously served as the
director of UC Berkeley’s Center for
Japanese Studies before coming to
USC in 2011.

On Tuesday, USC became the
first university in the United States
to have a Burritobox available to
its students on campus.
Advertised as “the World’s
First Burrito Kiosk,” Burritobox
is essentially a vending machine
offering hot and fresh burritos.
The kiosk will be located near
the Parkside Apartments at 3730
S. McClintock Ave.
Kris Klinger, director of USC
Hospitality, said that Burritobox
specifically reached out to the
university to offer its services.
“Burritobox wanted us to be the
first campus to offer their service
to our students, [and] we also
thought it was something cool,
convenient and affordable that
those on campus would enjoy,”
Klinger said.
Klinger and his team visited
the first Burritobox location at a
gas station in West Hollywood to
check out the kiosk and see what
others thought of the product.
Patrons can order from
Burritobox through an interactive
touchscreen menu. Customers
can choose up to five different
burrito options.
All burritos are refrigerated
prior to the heating process and
Burritobox employees service the
machine daily to ensure freshness.
Additionally, they are made with
hormone- and antibiotic-free
ingredients. Excluding tax, the
burritos cost $3 each. Guacamole
can also be purchased for an
additional 75 cents.
After making a selection, the
screen displays the nutrition
information to the customer and
allows for payment processing.
Once the payment has been
processed, customers wait for
the burrito to be heated up
while a music video or video
advertisement plays on screen for
approximately 60 seconds.
Students on campus were
excited to officially welcome
Burritobox to campus.
“I think that [it] is always
beneficial to add more food
options on campus,” said Michael
Wratschko II, a first-year graduate
student studying business
administration. “As soon as I saw
the Burritobox concept I became
excited. It’s like the Redbox for
burritos.”
Kieryn Ziegler, a freshman
majoring in writing for screen and
television, said that burritos were
her favorite food, and she will be
making an effort to try out the
new kiosk.
“All food should be served in
burrito form, but because burritos
are the only food that’s ahead of
the game, Burritobox’s addition
to campus will be a positive step
forward in burrito access for USC

On Monday, the USC Shoah
Foundation hosted a special
presentation in the Ronald Tutor
Campus Center by Douglas
Greenberg about the “forgotten”
Holocaust story of the providence of
Wolyn, Poland.
The event focused on the story
of the Jewish population of Wolyn
during the Holocaust and how its
story has been widely forgotten.
Greenberg is a current Rutgers
University professor who served
as executive director of the USC
Shoah Foundation from 2000 to
2008. He returned to USC this year
as an Institute Fellow to carry out
research in USC’s Visual History
Archive regarding the richly
historic, yet often overlooked region
of Wolyn.
“I feel that I gained a completely
different perspective from the
lecture,” said Jason Cheong, a
sophomore majoring in history.
“In class we’ve only been taking
one approach to the history of the
Holocaust, so it was interesting to
learn this side too.”
In his presentation, Greenberg
discussed how his personal interest
in this field began with his own
grandfather, who lived in the region
of Wolyn. This personal connection,
combined with Greenberg’s
background in history, are both
factors which sparked his curiosity
in the Holocaust history of Wolyn.
His research seeks to reconstruct
and shine a light on the experience
of the Wolyn survivors. This task,
however, is incredibly difficult due
to the complex history of Wolyn, as
well as the fact that only 1.5 percent
of Jews in Wolyn communities
survived the Holocaust.
“I think that I have uncovered
an aspect of the Holocaust that is
mostly unknown,” Greenberg said. “I
hope that [attendees of the lecture]
come away with an awareness that
the Holocaust was not a simple
event in history, and its complexity
is important.”
Many of the students who
attended were able to relate the
lecture directly to their various
classes, such as those in Jewish
history courses and religious or
conflict study classes.
“In my class, we’re examining
different case studies and deciding
